St. Petersburg, Fla. — LSU coaches, as of 5:00 p.m., were en route to Orlando Friday afternoon to meet with uncommitted and consensus No. 1 prospect Robert Nkemdiche, as well as top-rated linebacker, Ruben Foster—both of whom participated in the Under Armour All-America Game.

As soon as the prospects are released from the coaches following the Under Armour All-America Game, they are once again allowed to receive visits from college coaches.

Despite conflicting reports, there is no question there is mutual interest between LSU and Nkemdiche, who also revealed that the Tigers, as well as Ole Miss, are his favorites.

Yet still, many believe that Nkemdiche favors Mississippi because of his family connections in Oxford, where his brother, Denzel, is a redshirt freshman linebacker. Nkemdiche's mother, Beverly, who works in Nigeria as a legislator, has publically stated her preferece both to play together at Ole Miss.

Nkemdiche is expected to announce his commitment sometime on or around National Signing Day on Feb. 6.

Despite his prior commitments, LSU has maintained contact with Foster throughout. And now, with starting middle linebacker Kevin Minter having declared for the NFL Draft on Thursday, the need for Foster is of paramount importance — to which he has taken notice.

"That's a spot that is ready to be taken,” he said. “So really all I got to do is just look at the depth chart from now on and get with the flow and they gotta let me know some good things and also some bad things. They got to speak the truth with me. I don’t wanna hear just good things I just wanna hear some bad things, negative and some good things. So really it just opened a lane for ‘em.”
